Solar Construction Safety Management
- Implement and enforce the Project HSE Plan for solar farm construction
- Oversee safety during:
- PV module installation
- Mounting structure assembly
- DC cabling and inverter installation
- Substation and grid interconnection works
- Conduct daily site safety inspections and hazard assessments
- Ensure proper use of PPE specific to solar works (arc flash, electrical safety)
Electrical & High-Risk Activity Safety
- Monitor and control risks related to:
- DC electrical systems (live current hazards)
- Energization and commissioning activities
- Work at heights (panel installation, structures)
- Lifting operations (modules, trackers, equipment)
- Excavation and trenching for cable routing
- Enforce Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures during electrical works
- Ensure compliance with safe energization protocols
Environmental Compliance (Solar Project Focus)
- Ensure compliance with DENR regulations and ECC requirements
- Monitor:
- Land disturbance and erosion control
- Waste management (packaging, panels, hazardous waste)
- Dust, noise, and site runoff
- Promote environmental sustainability aligned with renewable energy goals
Regulatory Compliance & Standards
- Ensure compliance with:
- DOLE Occupational Safety and Health Standards (OSHS)
- AFRY HSE policies
- Client and EPC contractor requirements
- Support implementation of:
- ISO 45001 (Occupational Health & Safety)
- ISO 14001 (Environmental Management)
Training & Safety Culture
- Conduct solar-specific safety inductions for all workers
- Lead toolbox talks focused on:
- Electrical safety
- Heat stress management (open-field solar sites)
- Manual handling of solar panels
- Promote a proactive and incident-free safety culture
Incident Management & Reporting
- Investigate incidents, near-misses, and unsafe conditions
- Prepare detailed HSE reports and corrective action plans
- Track and report KPIs (TRIR, LTIFR, near misses, audit findings)
Documentation & Coordination
- Maintain HSE documentation, permits, and compliance records
- Coordinate with:
- Project Manager
- EPC contractors
- Client representatives
- Government agencies (DOLE, DENR)
